In my experience, Chase and Citi can easily do a product conversion or downgrade of a card, which:

1. Retains your credit history (number of years with card)
2. Does not lower your credit score since no credit pull is done
3. Does not count as a new tradeline since it's not counted as a new credit card

I don't have experience with this with other banks. Maybe someone else can chime in.
